If they were willing to share a few events with Singapore, or even Brunei, that might work even better.

Not been a great advert for non-IBA event, this comp - it feels like the problems simply run too deep to be easily fixed.

Remember all those posts by me defending judging and saying 99% of complaints about robberies were just moaning
 
DISREGARD ALL OF THAT
 
Poor Grainne Walsh

Not all favourites.  Woolley was number one seed
 
Thankfully he’s off to his second Olympics now 

M -58kg Quotas 

Delighted to see Jack Woolley qualify today 

He's talking sh**e! The selection policy was published in January - there's no trials, so it will largely be down to the individual athletes expressing an interest in attending. So, whilst we are unlikely to have a huge team full of our big Olympic medal prospects, there will be a British team in Rome.

Strange, Jemma Reekie said she wanted to run the 1500m there.

Exactly what I thought. My suspicion is the team might well be significant enough, with only the most obvious medal chances sitting out, and a few 'punts' from people trying to maybe get an OG Q- not to mention the number who will be there because a European medal is the limit of their ambition, but a viable one. Athletics, especially at the less long distance end, do not have the tapers of say swimming or cycling.
 
Of course 'Orangehair' is now getting into the 'my sources' bullshit which is clearly now now just daft opinhions, but straight up lying - and at that point, should be banned from the forum for deliberate wrecking of the threads

I have to give you credit... for the consistency of the utter drivel that you continue to post.

Sure the team will be small - let's be honest it's a stupid idea to have a continental championship in the same year as the Olympics so for the vast majority of our top athletes, it's probably not going to be on their calendar but to suggest that no British athletes are going to apply to compete in Rome is simply you spouting yet more rubbish.
 
For the sake of everyone's sanity, can you please stop spamming the threads with this nonsense. 

You mean the European Championships?

It was obvious the 'points per blow' system was right - sure it needed tweaking (perhaps with extra buttons/points for combos and power shots) but the basic objectivity was clearly better than this pretendy nonsense, brought back, in my view quite deliberately to create corruption room.

I agree.
In this system there are only nine decisions to be made.
If two of them are very wrong the result is ruined.

I am sorry but you really do talk some nonsense - I'm not sure if you genuinely believe half the stuff that you write or whether you do it trying to get a rise out of someone. 

Don't think anyone really knows - previously the refugee boxers received invite rather than having to win a quota. According to the qualification document, the quota is awarded to the athlete rather than the NOC so if she wins a spot and the Home Office pull their finger out and resolve her citizenship, then the quota would form part of the  team. If both Ngamba and Reid were to win quotas I would assume GB Boxing would have to reject one.

I can't be the only person whose eyes rolled at the sight of "Urban Innovation Festival"? 

Men's 57kg:  Jude Gallagher def.  Hichem Maouche (5-0)

Men's 57Kg:  Owain Harris def.  Jose Luis De Lo Santos Feliz (4-1)

To be honest it doesn't have a huge impact - she should pick up 50 points for the 2 wins so it should cut  lead over  from 317 to 267. However, hopefully it means that she will be competing in a few of the European Cup events over the next few weeks so that we can have three active riders making up our score instead of just 2.

Come to think of it, why don't Canada do their bit for world inclusivity and offer to MERGE the 2031 Jeux de Francophonie and 2030 Commonwealth Game into an all-in-one 2030 Friendly Games/Jeux Amicaux
  ?

A bit harsh considering her age and experience in the sport. If I'm not mistaken, she made it further than people expected.

Here we go again…

Kill me now

This is hugely unfair on  
How are supposed to compete at the highest level without water companies pumping out raw sewage into the water around them?
